The electrical resistance of anything depends on its physical dimensions (length and cross-section area of a wire), and the substance of which it's composed.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can always figure out something to say about a question like this if you have a formula to work with. Likely you do.

There are many ways it can be written

R = k * L / A

So here's the answer.

Resistance = k which depends of the properties of the material used to make the wire * the Length of the wire divided by the cross sectional area of the wire.
